Abstract

Passivation must prevent ionic charge movement on the surface of the junction, thereby minimizing the junction leakage and maximizing the breakdown voltage of the devices. Borosilicate glasses are widely used as surface passivants for such silicon power devices as thyristors, transistor, and diodes. Since these 91asses are electrically stable at high temperatures and in high electric fields, they can readily be applied as a thick film, and they are resistant to humidity and have low ionic mobility. A deposition technique of glass film on the silicon surface by electrophoresis in which acetone is used as a suspension medium has been investigated. The purpose of this paper is to describe electrophoretic deposition method for glass passivation and characteristics of glass films which were compared using DTA, SEM, XRD, as a function of firing temperature.
